Motion decoy and decoy mounting system

Abstract

A novel and improved turkey motion decoy and decoy mounting system is disclosed. The mounting system comprises a plurality of movable frames to support a decoy body and tail, to thereby provide a decoy capable of moving its body parts to imitate the realistic mating behavior of a turkey.

1. A decoy mounting system, for a motion decoy, comprising:
 a. a support; 
 b. a pivotable decoy body mount frame for attachment of a decoy body; 
 c. a pivotable tail mount frame for attachment of a decoy tail; 
 d. wherein said body mount frame and said tail mount frame are operatively affixed to a pull cord; 
 e. whereby, in response to a force applied to the pull cord, said body mount frame is configured to pivot about a first axis and said tail mount frame is configured to pivot about a second axis having an orientation substantially perpendicular to the first axis. 
 
     
     
       2. A decoy mounting system according to  claim 1 , wherein the body mount frame is configured to pivotally reciprocate in an up and down manner relative to the vertical support, and wherein the tail mount frame is configured to pivotally reciprocate in a side to side manner relative to the vertical support, in response to the pull and release of the cord. 
     
     
       3. A decoy mounting system according to  claim 1 , wherein a decoy tail is provided to the tail mount frame, wherein said decoy tail is configured to simulate a turkey tail. 
     
     
       4. A decoy mounting system according to  claim 1 , further comprising a call box operatively affixed to the body mount frame, such that when the body mount frame pivots, the call box is engaged. 
     
     
       5. A decoy mounting system, for a motion decoy, comprising:
 a. a support; 
 b. a tilting feature comprising a pivotable decoy body mount frame for attachment of a decoy body; 
 c. a flagging feature comprising a pivotable tail mount frame for attachment of a decoy tail; 
 d. wherein said body mount frame and said tail mount frame are operatively affixed to the pull cord; 
 e. whereby, in response to a force applied to the pull cord, said body mount frame is configured to pivot about a first axis and said tail mount frame is configured to pivot about a second axis having an orientation substantially perpendicular to the first axis. 
 
     
     
       6. A decoy mounting system according to  claim 5 , wherein the body mount frame is configured to pivotally reciprocate in an up and down manner relative to the vertical support, and wherein the tail mount frame is configured to pivotally reciprocate in a side to side manner relative to the vertical support, in response to the pull and release of the cord. 
     
     
       7. A decoy mounting system according to  claim 5 , wherein the body mount frame and the tail mount frame are configured such that the amount of force exerted upon the cord will determine which particular feature is activated. 
     
     
       8. A decoy mounting system according to  claim 7 , wherein the flagging feature and the body tilting feature are configured to be activated sequentially, in response to a progressively increasing force exerted upon the cord. 
     
     
       9. A decoy mounting system according to  claim 5 , wherein the two features are configured to be activated simultaneously in response to a force applied to the pull cord. 
     
     
       10. A decoy mounting system according to  claim 5  further comprising a rotating feature, wherein the support is operatively affixed to the cord and anchored to a ground surface, wherein the decoy body mount frame is configured to rotate around an axis that is substantially orthogonal to the ground in response to a force applied to the pull cord. 
     
     
       11. A decoy mounting system according to  claim 5  further comprising a calling feature comprising a call box. 
     
     
       12. A decoy mounting system according to  claim 11  wherein the call box is operatively affixed to the pull cord and configured to be engaged in response to the force applied to the pull cord. 
     
     
       13. A decoy mounting system for a motion decoy, comprising:
 a. a support configured to support the motion decoy, wherein the support is configured to be anchored to a ground surface and operatively affixed to a pull cord; 
 b. a decoy body mount frame for attachment of a decoy body, wherein the decoy body mount frame is affixed to the support and configured to rotate around an axis that is substantially orthogonal to the ground surface in response to a force applied to the pull cord; and, 
 c. a tail mount frame for attachment of a decoy tail, wherein the tail mount frame is affixed to the decoy body mount frame and operatively affixed to the pull cord, wherein the tail mount frame is configured to pivot about an axis that is substantially parallel to the ground surface in response to a force applied to the pull cord. 
 
     
     
       14. A decoy mounting system according to  claim 13 , wherein the tail mount frame is configured to pivotally reciprocate in a side to side manner in response to the pull and release of the cord. 
     
     
       15. A decoy mounting system according to  claim 13 , wherein the decoy body mount frame is pivotable and operatively affixed to the pull cord and configured to pivot in response to a force applied to the pull cord. 
     
     
       16. A decoy mounting system according to  claim 15 , wherein the decoy body mount frame is configured to pivotally reciprocate in an up and down manner. 
     
     
       17. A decoy mounting system according to  claim 16  further comprising a calling feature comprising a call box, wherein, the call box is operatively affixed to the pull cord and configured to be engaged in response to the force applied to said pull cord.
